PODMETHEUS: AN ALIEN PODCAST is hosted by author and podcaster A. J. Black & podcaster Mark McManus, exploring all facets of the Alien franchise on the big and small screens.

This time, joined by podcaster and Alien franchise obsessive Rob Turnbull, the podcast looks at David Fincher's legendary 1992 sequel, Alien3.

Endlessly controversial, with a production history more complex than any other Alien project, this conversation explores the depth behind Fincher's often lambasted third outing for Ellen Ripley. But is it misunderstood? We attempt to find out.

This is our first big screen entry in the franchise since 2018's messy flop The Predator - will this family friendly installment bring home the box office goodies, and where does the series go from here? Be prepared for some mild spoilers along the way...Host / Editor
